You can do it. One day at a time. And I probably don’t have to tell you that it’s not about being on a diet, but making a lifestyle change. But once you make those changes and commit to making them stick, it’s really hard to go back.

I had my light bulb moment 7.5 years ago, and while I still have my struggles (that damn alarm going off at 4:15 a.m. so I can be at the gym at 5…I’ll never like that, ever), I keep pushing because I remember what it was like feeling like crap all the time (plantar fasciitis, back pain, acid reflux…good times) and I don’t ever want to go down that slippery slope again.

lamh

yep…add high blood pressure to that and those are all things I suffer with.

Even in 2 weeks, I’ve noticed I have less issue w/acid reflux, probably cause I eat less greasy/acidic foods, and I try to eat my last “big meal” at least 4-5 hours before I’m supposed to go to bed.

My issue is my sweet tooth and late night snacking…but I’m learning that oranges help a bit with the sweet tooth and keeping late night pre-bed snacking to 1 small not heavy treat

MsKitty

Even now I still gotta have my chocolate. But I’ll get the miniature or fun size and just have 1-2 after dinner, though some nights I can even get by without doing that.

As far as other sweets like cakes/cookies/ice cream, I’ll only allow myself to have it on Sunday which is my cheat day. In a way I appreciate them more because I waited all week to indulge myself. But this didn’t happen overnight, I had to train myself over time.

Also, try a salad for lunch. I pretty much do them 4 days a week.
You can put a lot into a salad. Lots of combinations that will fill you up. I like kale salads… Girl, if you told me 6months ago that I would write that, I would have called you a liar.

MsKitty

Especially this time of year when the local produce is fresh and plentiful.

And I’m real late to the party on this trend, but last weekend I bought one of those spiralizers where you can turn vegetables into noodles. Made some zucchini “spaghetti” with the sausage and marinara sauce, it was the business. I still may have some real pasta from time to time in the future, but I’m going to do this a lot more.

rikyrah

Haven’t done that, but I’ve been doing whole wheat/multi-grain pasta for a couple of years.

What I can’t do is gluten-free pasta: JUST SAY NO!!!

I will say that, if you have the time, you can use grilled squash and zucchini slices for the ‘pasta’ in lasagna. DELICIOUS.

I’ve noticed the price of romaine inching up recently. No doubt because of the orange ass and ICE.

Shut the fuck up Mary Carillo! Getting injured has nothing to with being fit. Fit athletes get hurt all the time. As for Nick I wonder if he’s still growing, they changed the age stoppage for young men to I believe 25 or 26. I noticed it in my own son, I though he had stopped growing but he has grown a lil more since he was 19.

The Shy Lurker

She’s been saying that shit for a long time now.
It appears to me there’s a lot of projection in her commentary since her playing career was a blip.

Who died and anointed her the keeper of the game?

Exactly! I say the same thing about Mary Jo when she sometimes talk smack. Venus ended her career, broke that ankle off lol.

another thing about sweets. I’m a sweet-a-holic.

Period. So, I feel you.
So, I can’t go without – doesn’t work for me. On any level, so I’m not going to tell you to go without.
Why don’t you try this..

Go get the nicest dessert you can.
Next time you get it, make sure that you eat it over 2 days.
Then, the next dessert that you get – eat it over 3 days.
You see where I’m going with it.
I had to cut out crap sweets. But, getting well done, with the best ingredient desserts..
I have a piece of my favorite yellow cake with chocolate frosting in my fridge right now. From my favorite bakery. I’m on day 5, and should finish it today.
There was a time when I could scarf down two slices of their cake in one sitting..now, I’m spreading one slice across 5 days. Yes, I still eat it, for me, it’s unrealistic to say that I can give it up. I’ve given up other stuff but gotta be real about what you can truly live without and what you’re just joking with yourself.

lamh

I don’t have a problem foregoing baked goods. I was never big on them much. So cakes, cupcakes, pipes, cookies, etc…I can live w/out

When I say sugary sweets, I mean candies, like Hershey’s, Starburst, or any chocolatey goodness.

The are empty sugars basically. With Weight Watchers, they are low points in low numbers. So 4 Starburst chew may be low points, but the entire pack of starburst would be 3-4x because you build up of those empty carbs.

So I just make sure I keep away from sweets during the day and on Friday, I visit the sweet shop, for my one vice.

Dear Mr. Mueller,

Please hurry up. We don’t want to witness another Hiroshima or Nagasaki.

Ret. ATF Special Agent Jim Cavanaugh, who worked with Robert Mueller
when he was FBI Director, gives a riveting look at the raid on Paul
Manafort’s home and the likely state of the special counsel’s legal
case. John Heilemann & Mieke Eoyang join Lawrence O’Donnell.

Let’s hope so. Also I think Osaka might have taken Plissy out if she weren’t hurt. I think there are too many tournaments. Players aren’t getting enough down time in between that’s why there’s injuries and fatigue.

Did you see that Radwanska got married? Dude is oogly.

The Shy Lurker

Yeah.

I took a quick peep. I can’t remember what he looks like though.
A soccer player or something.

In the time leading up to the 2016 presidential election, 65,844,610
Americans saw through the bullshit. We saw through a man running on a supposed business acumen who accrued a total of 6 bankruptcies. We saw through an Islamophobe who purchased property from Middle Eastern sheiks. We saw through a xenophobe who benefitted from the labor of undocumented immigrants at his properties. We saw through a man who openly discriminated against African-Americans and claimed to be their savior. And we saw through a man whose open misogyny, sexism, and sexual
assaults were simply brushed off as “locker room talk.”

……………………….

Since the media clearly had a role in helping to elect Donald Trump,
they now must attempt to absolve themselves from any and all
culpability. In order to do this, they have to continue to book guests
who instill a sense of doubt as to how and why the election unfolded the way that it did. It’s why the media continues to interview Trump
supporters in deep-red areas, as if the fact that these people still
support him is somehow an unsolved mystery. It’s why the media continuesto interview former Trump supporters, as if the fact that these people regret their vote would have somehow changed the outcome of the 2016 election. And it’s why the media continues to interview members of the White working class, as if the fact that these people bought into fake news and false accusations would somehow excuse their vote against their own self-interests.

But one group the media won’t talk to is Hillary Clinton supporters.
Because we know that part of the mystery as to how and why Donald Trump was elected is the media itself. In their twenty-five year quest to bring down a strong, independent woman, the media has continuously done whatever it could to make life difficult for her. Within the media exists a world of Andrea Mitchells who simply love to see the Clinton family fail. A world of Robert Reichs who still hold grudges to this day. A world of HA Goodmans who hate Hillary Clinton because they can’t think for themselves. A world of Cenk Uygurs who would love to destroy the Democratic Party from within. And a world of Susan Sarandons who would love to watch the world burn from the comfort of their very own mansions.

We Clinton supporters know all this and we would not let the media
off the hook. For they are as complicit as anyone in what has happened to our country. Our media sold out our democracy in order to make a quick buck. They intentionally shirked their responsibilities and distorted the presentation of the news in order to manifest a closer-than-it-should-have-been election. They refused to vet Bernie Sanders or Donald Trump. They provided false equivalencies to make Hillary Clinton appear corrupt where she was, in fact, trustworthy. And they insisted on pursuing a non-existent email scandal while simultaneously ignoring the dozens of real scandals that they knowingly had access to via Donald Trump.

We were right while our media was wrong. And our media was wrong
because they intentionally deceived the American public for personal gain. That is more than just bad business; that is an affront to everything a free press can and should stand for. While 65 million of us stood up to tyranny, our mainstream media openly cowered and gave rise to a candidate who embodies 21st-century fascism. The warning signs were there and our media intentionally chose to discard them to protect their own personal interests. They were complicit in the election of Donald Trump and they will continue to deny their role in his ascension because they know it is true.

Which means he thinks about it all the time…well…not all the time…half the time he’s thinking of Barack Obama.

Trump Insists He Hasn’t Thought of Firing Mueller
August 10, 2017 at 6:06 pm EDT

President Trump told reporters “that he hasn’t given firing special counsel Robert Mueller any thought, despite people close to him telling reporters that he is,” CNN reports.

Said Trump: “I haven’t given it any thought. I’ve been reading about it from you people. You say, ‘Oh, I’m going to dismiss him.’ No, I’m not dismissing anybody.”

Her tone-deaf remarks are an insult to the United States’ legacy of civil disobedience

Perhaps you’ve heard of Nina Turner, one of the few notable women of color to endorse Bernie Sanders, and one of the only women in politics the alt-left doesn’t have a problem with. Find something in Kamala Harris’s record that they don’t like and they’ll gleefully try to tear her down, but they’ll never say a bad word about Turner, as in this fawning profile by resident Paste Magazine BernieBro Shane Ryan.

Turner is a former Ohio State Senator who was appointed to her position in 2008 and won re-election running unopposed in her district. In 2014, she ran for Ohio’s Secretary of State, the first time her name was on a statewide ballot, and she lost by twenty-five points.

Until mid-2015, she supported Hillary Clinton, but then switched to
Bernie Sanders and became one of his most outspoken supporters. From there, she burned a lot of bridges with the Democratic Party at large: she was not allowed to speak at the Democratic National Convention (most likely for not endorsing Hillary Clinton), then considered running on the Green Party ticket with Jill Stein. Now she’s the head of Our Revolution, the far left SuperPAC that she took over from Jeff “Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons” Weaver (“Worst – SuperPAC head – ever!”), and has actually said she would endorse Republicans and third-party candidates if they support single payer.

Drunk on a thin ration of power, Turner symbolizes the worst aspects of the Bernie Sanders movement, harboring an attitudes towards the “establishment” base of the party that is alarmingly similar to the DudeBros of Chapo Traphouse, who infamously demanded on their podcast that the Party “bend the knee” to them. In an interview with The Nation, when asked how she would seek help from the DNC, DCCC and other fundraising bases
affiliated with the party, she replied, “I don’t think it is our job nor
our obligation to fit in. It’s their job to fit in with us.” This may
appeal to the Bernie-or-Bust crowd, but it is extremely alienating to
the rest of us who understand that the ideological divide within the
Democratic Party is not Democrats vs. Democrats, but Democrats and fringe crazies who thrive on any and all attention, even when it is overwhelmingly negative.

– – –There’s some “heavy drama” in New Orleans at the National Association of Black Journalists conference after organizers decided to add top Trump aide Omarosa Manigault to a panel.

“The majority there don’t want her involved. It’s heavy drama — even the moderator is refusing. Everyone sees it as extremely offensive,” a source told us.

New York Times journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones was scheduled to moderate a panel on police brutality on Friday, which featured Valerie Castile, Sandra Sterling, and the New Yorker’s Jelani Cobb. Hannah-Jones and Cobb pulled out of the panel, and Bounce TV’s Ed Gordon stepped in to serve as the event’s moderator.

Cobb told Page Six that the reason for pulling out “wasn’t simply the addition of Omarosa. It was that she was added at the eleventh hour and it was unclear whether we would be able to discuss substantive issues regarding the administration and its policing policies. Also, the panel was very disorganized, and basic things like format were not clear.”– –

– –Patti Austin (born 10 August 1950) is an American R&B, pop and jazz singer.

When she was four years old, she made her debut at the Apollo Theater and the next year had a contract with RCA Records. During the 1960s, she was a session musician who sang background vocals and commercial jingles. She was known as “Queen of the Jingles,” appearing on commercials for Almay, Avon, Burger King, Impulse, KFC, Maxwell House, McDonald’s, Meow Mix, Stouffer’s, and the United States Army.
In 1969, she made the R&B Top 50 with the single “Family Tree”. Her debut album, End of a Rainbow, appeared in 1976 on the jazz label CTI Records. Two years later, she sang on the song “Love Light” by Japanese musician Yutaka Yokokura. She and Michael Jackson performed a duet on “It’s the Falling in Love”, which appeared on his album Off the Wall, and in 1980 she and jazz guitarist George Benson performed a duet on “Moody’s Mood for Love”. She provided vocals for Roberta Flack, Angela Bofill, and Noel Pointer.– – -:>)

– —-Off the Wall is the fifth studio album by American singer Michael Jackson, released on August 10, 1979 in the United States by Epic Records and internationally by CBS Records. It was his nineteenth album in total since Diana Ross Presents The Jackson 5 (1969), as well as his first album released through Epic Records, the label he would record on until his death roughly 30 years later. It was released following Jackson’s critically well-received film performance in The Wiz.
— – –SNIP– –
Five singles were released from the album; three of the singles had music videos released. Jackson wrote three of the songs himself, including the number-one Grammy Award-winning single “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough”.
– – – -SNIP- –The record gained critical acclaim and recognition, and won the singer his first Grammy Award. With Off the Wall, Jackson became the first solo artist to have four singles from the same album peak inside the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100.
The album was an enormous commercial success; as of 2014 it is certified eight times platinum in the United States and has reportedly sold more than 20 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best selling albums of all time.– –

Oh beautiful memory for me. I was going into the 10th grade and had a girlfriend who was a Senior. She took me to an even older friends house for a listening party. I was cooler than the other side of the pillow and started a reputation as a person you could hang out with from the next generation.
